Am I wasting lots of time and effort selecting specific focus points? I always try to select a point that is nearest to the area in the photo I definitely want to be in focus, such as the eyes in a portrait. So of course, when I change from portrait to landscape orientation or the desired focal point in the photo changes, I'm having to do another focus selection. Really a PITA. Everyone else seems to just use the center focal point, then recompose. That is certainly faster and easier, but I read that is NOT the best way to do it because when you move the camera to recompose, you can be making a large change in the focal plane as compared to where you focused with the center point. I have not done any extensive tests to see if this proves out, but I can definitely see how it *could*.... probably at closer ranges rather than at large distances.

Just wondering what others' views are on this.

Thanks,
Steve
